I looked up to Paul Engler as an entrepreneur and was blessed to be part of the program,” says Hannah Klitz, owner and operator of Oak Barn Beef. She says the scholarship money was life-changing for her. “I didn’t have to have as many parttime jobs to get me through college like my peers did,” Klitz says. “It gave me a lot more time to build my business.” Beyond the financial benefit, the Engler Program encouraged her to be confident. “The program is very self-driven and doesn’t box you in like the typical educational system,” Klitz says. “It pushed you to think for yourself, decide what you want to do and what you want your life’s impact to be. It was empowering to find other people like me who didn’t fit the ʻtraditional’ educational mold and were looking for something different.” Klitz started her business, Oak Barn Beef, during her sophomore year of college. Now, she and her husband, who graduated from the Engler Program, run the small business together. “We’re running this business and other businesses together, and we also get to raise our kids in this environment,” Klitz says. “It’s amazing that our kids grow up seeing their parents as business owners. We hope to pass on the same lessons and mindset we learned through the Engler Program to our kids so that it impacts their lives positively, too.” Paul Engler was a man of many talents and passions, but the recurring theme throughout his life was an innovative, entrepreneurial spirit he wanted to share with others. ~NC~
